I spent one day and night in Amsterdam in 1974. Nice country! Nice city!
I drank one of those Heinekens that you can only get in Amsterdam, visited the red light district (but didn't make any x-rated purchases), went on a canal tour in one of those cool glass-enclosed boats, and saw the famed windmills on the way there.
I was travelling from London to Amsterdam and took a fantastic cruise across the English channel on a night with clear skies and a full moon. It was an amazing trip that I've never forgotten.
Before London I also visited Paris, Luxenborg, and Belgium.
And I was young and carefree! Ah! Those were the days! |

It sounds like you had a really nice trip CrazyAboutTV!
I just graduated from College in 2009 and haven't had the opportunity to travel outside the U.S. yet (except for one spring break in Cancun).
I fully intend to see the world though! I'm looking forward to it!
I'd be pleased to hear about others' travel experiences! |

Besides what I said in my previous post, I've visited approximately 35 of the US States, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. I was living in Germany at the time but took the train to Austria and Switzerland on the weekends for the beautiful Alpine scenery! I also spent a lot of weekends at the Hofbrauhaus in Munich and even made it to one Octoberfest!
I'll be retiring (at least partially) in just a few more years and, hopefully, will be doing more traveling. |

I went to Japan last year! It's really something to experience such a different culture. |
